How to display unique text at the top of a specific thread (not an announcement)

[ataraxia]

If the $thread[notes] field could be made to accept vBBcodes, you could use this to display a banner which is specifically related to a particular thread.

Another thing you could do with this is provide an index of informational links directly related to the thread content. For example, if you have a thread on, say, The Matrix movie, you could display links to corresponding webpages on IMDB.com, review sites, Amazon.com, Google searches, etc. Obviously, you could also do that in a post, but having this information always appear at the top of the thread would give it much more proiminence.

Also, note that If you have a long thread over several pages, this could be displayed at the top of EACH page of the thread.

So, how could the $thread[notes] field be made to accept vBBcodes?
